Ever since this coronavirus COVID-19 pandemic started, everybody has been extra intent on being clean and having a sanitized and healthy environment. With that, last month we reported on the two Lysol-brand cleaners that the EPA approved to kill the virus. Once that report came out, it became harder to find the cleaners since they were, and still are, in demand.
As a result, everyone's wondering where to buy Lysol Spray. The good news is that Lysol Disinfectant Spray is slowly coming back into stock. The bad news is, it's not in stock everywhere right now. But that's okay. We've found other approved cleaners that can kill COVID-19. Check out below:

How to Disinfect Your Home
According to the CDC, you should wear disposable gloves when cleaning and disinfecting surfaces. Gloves should be discarded after each cleaning. If reusable gloves are used, those gloves should be dedicated for cleaning and disinfection of surfaces for COVID-19 and should not be used for other purposes. Consult the manufacturer’s instructions for cleaning and disinfection products used. Clean hands immediately after gloves are removed.
If surfaces are dirty, they should be cleaned using a detergent or soap and water prior to disinfection.
For disinfection, most common EPA-registered household disinfectants should be effective.
Follow manufacturer’s instructions for all cleaning and disinfection products for (concentration, application method and contact time, etc.)
Additionally, diluted household bleach solutions (at least 1000ppm sodium hypochlorite, or concentration of 5%–6%) can be used if appropriate for the surface. Follow manufacturer’s instructions for application, ensuring a contact time of at least 1 minute, and allowing proper ventilation during and after application. Check to ensure the product is not past its expiration date. Never mix household bleach with ammonia or any other cleanser. Unexpired household bleach will be effective against coronaviruses when properly diluted.
Prepare a bleach solution by mixing:
- 5 tablespoons (1/3rd cup) bleach per gallon of room temperature water or
- 4 teaspoons bleach per quart of room temperature water
Bleach solutions will be effective for disinfection up to 24 hours.
